To repair/replace Utopia Be

I have a pair of Diva Utopia Be. Last weekend, I noticed some weird sound from the speakers then I found the Be tweeter was broken (a hole on the dome...not sure how it gets there)

I have ordered a new tweeter from a local dealer, as the speaker is pretty heavy and the dealer told me the technics involved in replacing the unit is pretty straight forward (unscrew the screws and then connect the wires to the unit) I decided to replace the unit by myself. Anybody has similar experience on this please let me if there is anything I shall pay special attention to when replacing it.

Many many thanks.

Nope, it's easy and straight forward as described. All you need is a set of Allen wrenches to unscrew the driver. Just dont drop the driver and maybe have someone hold it in while you put the screws back in...

Here's another caution to keep in mind!

Make sure any metallic items (screws, wrenches, etc.) are put safely some distance away from any driver you are handling. The magnets have a way of attracting those items ;^) and they can have the nasty effect of punching a hole in your new diaphragm, cone, et. al.

It is straightforward as long as the leads to the driver are not soldered on. I've replaced bad drivers before (darn kids) but only one tweeter. Just be sure to note which wire goes where and remember there may be some pretty strong magnets involved. Good luck with the project.
